Objects accelerate at ~9.8 Meters per second per second (9.8 Meters peer sec^2. (or ~32 feet per sec^2 for you non metric guys) As they gain speed they will reach a maximum velocity limited by atmospheric resistance, when the resistance vector equals the gravity vector and all acceleration will cease. In a vacuum the object will continue to accelerate.

Pavel [41]

Answer:

Final Velocity = √(eV/m)

Explanation:

The Workdone, W, in accelerating a charge, 2e, through a potential difference, V is given as a product of the charge and the potential difference

W = (2e) × V = 2eV

And this work is equal to change in kinetic energy

W = Δ(kinetic energy) = ΔK.E

But since the charge starts from rest, initial velocity = 0 and initial kinetic energy = 0

ΔK.E = ½ × (mass) × (final velocity)²

(Velocity)² = (2×ΔK.E)/(mass)

Velocity = √[(2×ΔK.E)/(mass)]

ΔK.E = W = 2eV

mass = 4m

Final Velocity = √[(2×W)/(4m)]

Final Velocity = √[(2×2eV)/4m]

Final Velocity = √(4eV/4m)

Final Velocity = √(eV/m)

Hope this Helps!!!
